Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a reaction A + B → C. If the rate expression is found to be Rate = k[A]^2[B], and it’s observed that doubling the concentration of A doubles the rate while doubling the concentration of B quadruples the rate, discuss what this implies about the orders of reaction with respect to A and B.
💡 Hint: Check how changes in concentration correlate with observed rate changes.
Describe an experiment to determine if the reaction 2A + B → products is first order in A and second order in B. Design a series of trials and analyze your method.
💡 Hint: Think about the importance of controlling variables.
